Chapter 2: Clarity?

Eddie let out a gloomy sigh. After reliving his painful memory, he remembers how miserable he was for the rest of his summer. He wouldn't talk to his friends or mom and, every time someone brought her name up, he would excuse himself and be depressed, wondering what he did wrong and why did she do it. After a while he stopped asking unanswerable questions to himself. He then realized he would do anything to get his questions answered by the girl that broke his heart. So, he grabbed his leather jacket and headed for the door.


Jerome and Patricia had finished up their plans and were heading back to Anubis house together. Right when they were at the steps Patricia placed her hand in front of Jerome and stopped him from opening the door. He gave her a confused look and she answered to is gaze "Jerome, I don't know if this is a good idea, I mean I don't want anyone to get hurt, I-I just-"Patricia racked her brain to find the correct words. "-Want to be with Eddie." he replied to her stuttering with a small smirk on his face. She was suddenly very interested in the ground and praying she wasn't blushing. He put his finger under her chin and tilted it upwards gently and says "I know this might be extremely awkward for the both of us but, we need to know if the people we lov-" Patricia then backed up when he was about to finish the word she was scared of the most, a frightened Patricia shot back, "I'm not in love with Eddie." Jerome saw her nervous glance and could tell someone was afraid of the l-bomb. He then did his signature smirk and replied. "Really could have had me fooled, the way you two look at each other, was the way I used to look at Mara." His original statement went from cocky to hurt. Patricia had never seen this side of Jerome, his soft side. She then took at note of how desperate they both were and she looked at him straight in his eyes and said "And we'll make sure that you two keep looking at each other that way." With that she pulled him into a hug what started and an awkward pat on the back became a gentle sweet friendly gesture from the both of them.


Eddie was about go to the door when Alfie called him over for his opinion on which water gun was better for pranking since, he couldn't seem to find Jerome anywhere. After about roughly 5 minutes of debating with a rather opinionated Alfie, Eddie saw this conversation was going south, so he excused himself started to head for the door. Is if on cue, Eddie swiftly opened the door to see his ex- girlfriend and class player hugging, a little too friendly for his taste. Patricia and Jerome jumped back quickly. Jerome's eyes bugged out questioning the next step. Patricia saw a glimpse Eddie's face and hurriedly said "We're still on for tomorrow right?" She was overjoyed that her back was to Eddie so he couldn't see her; she winked at Jerome indicating that it was for their plan. He responded with "Most definitely, lunch in the garden?" he suggested. "Sounds nice, bye Jerome." Finally understanding the entire situation he replied with a "Bye Trixie." and politely kissed her cheek and whispered "nice job, he's totally jealous" which she responded to with "Thanks not bad yourself." All of this dialogue was inaudible to an awestruck Eddie. Patricia turned around and pretended to just notice Eddie and said "Oh hey Eddie." With innocence in laced in her voice. "Hey." His answer was short and very clipped, he was afraid that if he said one more word he'd boil over so with that, he bit his tongue and scooted over to let Patricia pass through.


After Patricia went inside Jerome just stood there waiting for Eddie's reaction. He saw disbelief, anger, and sadness combined on his face. 'Even more questions than before,' Eddie thought as he then looked up at Jerome and shook his head scoffing,

"Really?" Eddie said with a wtf face.

"Really what Sweety Jr." Jerome replied sarcastically with a smug smile appearing on his face.

"Out of all the girls in this school, this country, this world, you chose Patricia?"

"That's rather rude Edison, is it not believable that I can get a girl like Williamson? Because, the way I see it she's over you and, you're over her therefore, I see no problem at all"

Eddie was furious at Jerome's cocky come back "Well, you're wrong because, I'm. Not. Over. Patricia. Yup, did you hear that? I'm not over her, I haven't been and won't be in a while after get some answers and, until my questions are answered, you stay away from her!" Oblivious to the fact that he just admitted he still had feelings for Trixie. Jerome stood there with his eyes widened to Eddie abrupt statement, but he then realized that this could be great information for blackmailing Eddie so, with that, his bulging eyes calmed and self-confident smirk plastered on his face. "Well I'm afraid that you are not the boss of me but, knowing you like Patricia makes me want her even more."


Mara was still sulking over Jerome cheating on her with Willow. 'What happened between us? Why did he cheat on me? What is because I was boring? Or maybe even ditching him? Oh my gosh! Why can't I figure this out? This is even worse than the time Willow figured out a complex scientific equation in a matter of seconds while I took me what seemed like a lifetime! Willow this, Willow that. All this talk about Willow has got me sick to my stomach. Hmm what to do, what to do? Maybe I should just take a quick walk, yes, fresh air is always good for moments like these.' And with that she grabbed her cardigan and pull them over her bare arms and went downstairs and made her way out. Just as she was about to walk out she realized she forgot her phone and went upstairs. As she walked near the bathroom she heard foreign sobs coming from it. She listened on, trying so hard to figure out who this mysterious crier is. She pondered for a while before her eyes bugged out as she raped her knuckles on the door. "Patricia, is everything alright?"
